Is it true that positive thinking attracts positive things?
Positive thinking can certainly have a positive impact on a person's mindset and overall well-being. It can lead to a more optimistic outlook and can help individuals approach challenges with a more constructive attitude. However, it's important to note that positive thinking alone may not directly attract positive things. It's also important to take action and make intentional choices that align with one's positive mindset in order to manifest positive outcomes. So while positive thinking can contribute to a more positive life, it's not a guarantee that it will attract positive things on its own.

Positive Education at all Levels : Learning to Flourish
Positive education has grown and evolved, first as a discipline and then a perspective.Since its first wave of development as an application of positive psychology within education, where the focus was primarily on students, the second wave brought with it recognition of the importance of wellbeing for all those involved in education too.Now entering the third wave, with this comes positive education not as a discipline but as a perspective.In particular, a perspective which embraces the challenges of culture and diversity alongside already positively oriented programs, structures and frameworks within education that, with continued refinements, can bring out the best of what could be (Kern & Wehmeyer, 2021). With this third wave still in its infancy, therefore, Positive Education at all Levels brings the reader to where we are today, showcasing positive education across all three levels of UK education: primary, secondary, and tertiary.With chapters for parents as well as for educators, this book will be of interest for all those involved in positive education, including those who may be learners of positive education too.
